Another busy day down at the boatyard

Adjusting the stainless steel top of the galley work top to fit the sink and the hob into the worktop. A bit of trimming of the edges to get the sink and hob to fit. 


The work top lids to cover the hob and sink when they are not being used and so the area can be used as extra work top space.


One job to do is to makeup stands to keep the lids off the sink and hob when they are not is use.


The cabin step getting its coats of non slip paint to make it better when the boat is used in wet weather 


Custom made anchor chocks for the main and kedge anchors for the Morgan Giles 30. These will be fitted once the decks are painted with their non slip deck paint.

Making up the new galley front with the oven and doors fitted and now to make the curtley drawer.

The Hardy 25 new galley front is coming along with the new oven being fitted to the galley front. the old galley did not have an oven fitted however, the new owner wishes to use the boat more and wish to have the added bonus of having an oven onboard.


Although it as cut down the locker space a bit there is still a far amount of useable space under the galley top to fit a fair amount of things needed in the galley area.


There are still a fair amount of varnshingh needed to get the right finish of the galley front, these finishing coats will be done once the galley front is installed in the boat.
